簡介：In Uruguay, they don't say cheese in front of the camera - they say whisky. Beneath the artificially photographed smiles, however, is a blueprint for the "South American Gothic," minus the farm and the forks. These Montevidean folks' stony expressions belie a life gripped frozen by accustomed routines. So it goes with an old Jewish bachelor who owns an ageing sock factory. When his estranged younger brother decides to visit for their mother's burial, he asks his employee Marta to pose as his wife. The resulting encounter creates clumsy silences that are uncomfortably comic. Grand Prize, Tokyo Film Festival and FIPRESCI prize from Cannes.　　這一(yī )代的年(nián )輕(🕞)人真係好老成(🙅)好cool，兩個新導演還(🧕)不到三十，便已拍出型到飛起(👬)黑色到痺的老人寂寞(😷)晚境。話說襪廠老闆阿積孤家寡人(🛩)，寂寞到死，一天飛(fēi )來鴻雁，巴(🍉)西的弟(➗)弟話來拜訪。他要表面風光，唯有求忠(🎻)厚下屬瑪泰暫充老婆(🔘)。兩個名(📞)字同樣叫孤獨的六十幾歲人忽(🎷)然親近，彆扭得不在話下。口若懸河的巴西弟弟一(yī )出現，畫(huà )面調子(🉑)大轉彎。三人海(🖤)邊(🔷)度假，瑪泰沉(chén )睡的(de )神經(🔗)率先波(bō )動，往後發(🚙)生的(🧖)事估(📜)都估唔到。郭(guō )利斯馬(🌫)基(💭)式冷面幽默扭橋(qiáo )扭到熱帶南美，黑色照舊輕(qīng )描淡(dà(🔚)n )寫功(📿)力同樣高超，另一種風情絕對原創。去年康城驚艷，連奪(🍅)國(🐚)際影(⛎)評人獎及原創觀點大獎(💏)。　　Source: 29th HKIFF (2005)
